30 Min Abs Workout for DIASTASIS RECTI, C-section Shelf

Join me for this 30 minute postnatal pilates workout for diastasis recti repair. These diastasis recti exercises are designed to narrow the gap, decrease the depth and increase core function. This workout is great for any mom for postpartum recovery including after c-section. Each of the exercises will work your deep core to strengthen from within.
If your tummy still looks pregnant months after delivery Diastasis Recti might be to blame! I recommend doing this workout 2x per week to get results!
*Check with your doctor before starting this or any exercise routine. Wait until you get clearance (usually 4-6 weeks or 6-8 weeks after a c-section). Don't do anything that feels painful or unsafe. Don't do any movement that causes you pain, discomfort or doming of your stomach. You are responsible for your own safety. Full disclaimer at the bottom.

[@agatagumiela4457]

So it's been maybe 2 months since i started doing this workout - I'm usually doing some cardio from Jo's and then 15min of this (usually i do half one day and finish next day) so let's say i do at least 15min 3 times a week. When I started I had to take breaks all the time, i couldn't get my legs up and it was very clumsy. I started seeing progress, which was very exciting (my husband said "it's not getting easier, you're just getting better!" And he was definitely right!). But today I'm SOOOO proud of myself! There was only one exercise i couldn't do, the rest i did WITHOUT ANY BREAKS! To keep my head and arms up, while simultaneously moving my legs for 40 seconds?! Seemed impossible, and yet, I'm doing it 😎 as always the simple truths are the most surprising - APPARENTLY consistency IS a key after all 😂 Love you, Jo! ❤

Just wanna put this out there - I started doing this video (combined with her seated workout) once a week for 3 months and got my waist down to 31 from a 34. Combined with mindful eating and walking, this is the most effective ab workout I've ever tried. Definitely recommend.

[@cassandramay8051]

It’s so restorative and effective!! All other abs workouts I’ve done before were too hard on my body. I have done this once a week for the last month and have lost 1 1/4 inch off my waist. It actually feels like im activating and improving the function of my core.

[@WildBison74]

It’s never too late to close that gap!

[@Stop_Infanticide]

As long as you're consistent you can close it! If you're pre or post menopausal it is a longer process due to the slowing of muscle growth with the hormonal fluctuations, but on average 4-6wks of doing this daily will establish your core again. Just make sure you have it activated first! Aka, suck your belly button in towards the floor and imagine the muscles along your back pinching together to pick up a penny. Images help with visualization so feel free to look online for proper core activation. With significant DV though, you'll see a dome form in the center of your belly if you've not warmed up/activated your core (it means your back is doing the work for you). Hope this helps! ❤

[@elainethompson6514]

Thank you so much for this! I believe our respective connections to God brought me here. I was in a pretty bad car crash and have been praying about (but, secretly dreading) the moment the professionals tell me it's time to start focusing on abs--the seatbelt really tore me up. I just talked to my Physical Therapist about your workouts, and now I can show her this one for approval! Seriously, I'm crying happy tears right now. I could've saved myself the worry by trusting God. ❤❤❤

​@@gigglekeyon Got to keep in mind though, they are doing a low carb diet together with intermittent fasting.. which can make a big difference in the speed you loose weight outside of doing consistent workouts.

I really love this! Now I am 300 lbs and day 1 of this workout. I struggled and had to take a ton of breaks lol. I'm confident I can keep going, the drive is there. I really want to get rid of my gut and just get stronger overall with doing these workouts. I appreciate you Jo!

Jo, literally you were the only one who made me love to exercise instead of suffering from it, but I'm beggin you with my soul, as someone who's dealing with chronic illnesses and hip, knee and heel pain, please do more easy but effective exercises and more chair workouts and warm ups, i felt depressed when my pain hit harder and i had to stop exercising, and i also want my mother to workout with me (she had a serious injury in her feet too) love you!!

I'm so excited for this! Im 5 years post my 2nd c section and have not been able to find exercises that helps with DR. Starting this one this evening. Thank you!

[@magzzi6305]

[@karolina2060]

Girl yessssss! ❤Amazing workout, not easy at all but that's exactly what I needed today- something challenging.

[@lindseyleak4497]

YES! 🙌 Thank you SO MUCH for making this! My DR with pregnancy #2 resulted in 2 hernias, which I FINALLY got repaired last month (I waited 8 years to fix it) It's only been 3 weeks since surgery but already the difference is Life Changing. I am cleared for core work at 5 weeks post op and I am SO READY to close up this DR once and for all! Pinning this workout and I'll be back in 2 weeks!

How's it going

[@ashleyvandyke6649]

Girl! That was no joke! I’ve had two c sections and it’s only been about 10 minutes since I finished this and I can STILL feel it. Thank you for all that you do. Your videos have helped me so much.

[@supernatural492]

Wow that was amazing! So excited to get to the point where I don't have to modify some of the advanced moves. 💪🏽

[@whitekallie75]

Haven’t had kiddos yet but I think a stronger core would help my lower back/hip pain a lot! Can’t wait to try this, thanks Jo! 😊

[@citlaltzin84]

I love you so much!! Thank you so much for being here on youtube ❤❤

[@jessenianauta-vs4rl]

Love Love Love the Positivity. Also Felt really empowered here, the music is on point, and I love that you let yourself explain through the music. for instance, I felt supported, in you showing ups to breath instead of telling us. Felt really powerful. gracias from the Dominican Republic!

[@anasanchez-lv5en]

I have done this for 3 days and my DR has gone from 3 finger separation to 1.5!!! Thank you for making this video❤️

[@oitsmaggie]

3 days????!!!! Wow! That’s amazing!

[@oitsmaggie]

I have a question. Any idea how many reps and set do I have to do this?

[@Gtg356]

What do you mean by finger separation? I am a 2 Times c-section mom as well and have that baby pooch. Will it work for me?

[@tru1495]

@@Gtg356 it’s the amount of fingers you can place between the separated ab muscles. Google it or ask your doctor.

[@sylvainbonhomme1409]

Hey Jo great workout to get back your abs definition after pregnancy. I m 6 months postpartum ve been doing it for about 3 months and slowly getting back in shape. Thank you for doing this you re helping a lot of new moms who are staying home with their baby. :)
